REPOSITORY STRING
REPOSITORY can be either a line that can be added directly to
sources.list(5), in the form ppa:<user>/<ppa-name> for adding Personal
Package Archives, or a distribution component to enable.
In the first form, REPOSITORY will just be appended to
/etc/apt/sources.list.
In the second form, ppa:<user>/<ppa-name> will be expanded to the full
deb line of the PPA and added into a new file in the
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory. The GPG public key of the newly
added PPA will also be downloaded and added to apt's keyring.
In the third form, the given distribution component will be enabled for
all sources.
